Getting Ready to Play in the Snow

Let's go!

p.s. Thanks Aunt Sheila for the mittens!

A Visit from Camas and a Goodbye to Skip

Ahhh- Winter's here! This week brought a foot of snow to the cabin and even more to the Pass.



Huck went on his first ski around the neighborhood and a sled ride with Camas.


Even Buddy got to ride for a while.





The last pic is of dinner with Eugene and his mom, Win, Derrick and us. Eug's dad passed away on Sunday. We shared a bottle of Smoking Loon Cabernet in tribute.

Almost a Year

As we approach Huck's first birthday I marvel at the changes in our lives- the fun, the challenge, the lack of sleep...

Here are a couple new pics and a shout of love and hope for Eugene's dad, Skip, who's struggling with cancer in the hospital in Eugene right now.

The first three are from a hike at Joe Goddard's Grove. The sun was magnificent shining through the recently thawed frost on the fir needles.

It made me think of William Blake:
"To see a World in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower."
